Based on your percentile in JEE Mains, your expected rank is between 122760-138000.

You can use this rank predictor

The eligibility criteria for JEE Advanced is that the candidate must be in the top 2,50,000 candidates including reserved categories.

The candidate must have passed 10+2 with at least 75% marks for General/ OBC category and 65% marks for SC/ST/PwD.

With 88 percentile, you have a good chance to appear in JEE Advanced.

Good Luck!

Hi

with  88 percentile

I would like to tell you that

It's a misconception that you need to be in top 2.5 lakh rank to be eligible for jee advanced   rather JEE main qualifying cut off for different categories   is such that only a total of around 2,50,000  students become eligible to appear for JEE Advanced  examination.

For example,

Jee main 2020 qualifying cut off to be eligible for jee advanced for st category was 39.0696101 percentile which is around common rank of 6-7 lakh . While a general candidate with 85 percentile which is around 1.5 lakh - 1.7 lakh i. e in the top 2.5 lakh was still not eligible because Jee main 2020 qualifying cut off to be eligible for jee advanced for general category was 90.3765335 percentile.

So, to be eligible for jee advanced  you need to meet jee main qualifying cut off percentile for your category.

Now,

It's quite difficult to predict JEE mains qualifying cutoff to be eligible for JEE advanced examination as it keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like :-

******number of students that appeared in the  jee main exam,

******kind of marks obtained by them ,

******toughness level of the jee main examination for different shift etc.


But yes,

When we go through previous year trend then

JEE mains 2021 expected qualifying  CUT OFF percentile to be eligible for JEE advanced  is given below for different categories on the basis of past year trends :

.                  .  JEE      MAIN CUT   OFF    PERCENTILE

Category jeemain2020 jeemain2021 expected off

General :-     90.3765335                 90-95

GEN-EWS :-  70.2435518                  70 -75

OBC-NCL :-  72.8887969                   70 -75

SC     :-           50.1760245                  50 -55

ST :-                39.0696101                  40 - 45

PwD :-            0.0618524                      1- 2

So, from above it is clear that, you hold a bit low chance to qualify JEE main if you are from general category but if you are from any other category then hold very good chances to qualify JEE main with 88 percentile to be eligible for JEE advanced .
